Technology Innovator Encourages Participants to Create Displays with
Hundreds of Millions of Pixels
LEXINGTON, Ky., July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Mersive Technologies, an
emerging display technology company that is redefining the ease with which
ultra resolution, multi-projector displays can be designed, configured and
maintained, today announced the creation of the Mersive Academic Partner
Program [MAPP]. The new program is designed to provide select colleges,
universities and research facilities with cost-effective technology that
can be used for creating ultra definition displays.
As part of the program, Mersive will offer its Sol(TM) Server
technology and Sol Realtime API, which enable users to produce
multi-projector seamless displays of almost any size, shape, and
resolution. These ultra definition displays are achieved by clustering an
unlimited number of commercial off-the- shelf projectors. The Mersive Sol
Server calibrates the projectors into a single, unified pixel palette. Sol
Realtime API allows for 3D graphics application integration.
MAPP participants will be able to purchase the Mersive Sol Server and
an unlimited number of per-channel software licenses at a greatly reduced
fee.
"Mersive's goal is to enable its academic partners to create
unprecedented ultra definition displays for use in various fields of
research and study," says Dr. Christopher Jaynes, Mersive CTO and former
director of research at the University of Kentucky Center for Visualization
and Virtual Environments. "By eliminating the per-channel license fees for
MAPP participants, we are encouraging partners to dream big and build the
next generation of multi- projector displays. All we ask in return is that
participants share the knowledge with their colleagues and the rest of the
world through the MAPP wiki website at mersive.com."
Mersive will be introducing the program at Siggraph, August 7 - 9, San
Diego Convention Center. For academics interested in joining a special
discussion on MAPP at the show, please contact Christopher Jaynes via email
at cjaynes@mersive.com. For more information about Mersive, visit
